Sulfur oxidation state alters aggregation-related and interfacial behavior

Caption

A structurally matched series of S-linked octyl α-D-mannosides was used to examine how sulfur oxidation state affects behavior in water. Nile Red fluorescence showed compound-dependent threshold concentrations for the sulfide, sulfoxide, and sulfone derivatives, whereas surface-tension measurements showed a clear breakpoint only for the sulfide derivative.
